A graduate student at UC Berkeley faced backlash on Wednesday after offering students extra credit to attend a walkout against Israel amid ongoing fighting with Hamas.
Photos posted to social media this week showed an email that Victoria Huynh, a graduate student at UC Berkeley's Department of Ethnic Studies, sent to her students offering a "field trip and/or extra credit opportunity."
"(1) Students can attend the national student walkout tomorrow against the settler-colonial occupation of Gaza (info attached below) OR (2) Students can watch a short documentary on Palestine and call/email your local California representative using this linktree," the email said. "Doing so will count as a field trip or an extra 5 points on the field trip category of your grade."
